ABOUT ME
Hello my name is Nancy Wess and I have enjoyed being a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Florida for the past 14 years. I have counselled individuals struggling with issues relating to self-esteem, relationships, stress, depression, anxiety, trauma and addiction. I have dealt with a diverse population and I believe that the client- therapist relationship is most important, and it is based on trust, honesty and respect. In my practice I have used CBT, Cognitive Trauma Therapy, Solution Based Therapy and Mindfulness; I believe that each individual seeking therapy can benefit from an eclectic mix of therapy styles. Also, I have a Fine Arts degree and believe that drawing and painting are an excellent means of therapy, as well as a useful communication tool.

Nanci has been so helpful throughout the whole process! She’s very understanding and helpful to talk to. I started talking with her for prenatal anxiety and talk to her throughout my whole pregnancy, and into my babies for several months of life. She has been incredibly insightful, and I would definitely recommend her.

Nancy is a down to earth, relatable woman. She’s empathetic and validates my concerns, while continuing to encourage me to keep my head up during a difficult time. Better Help paired me with the perfect therapist.

Nancy was so easy to open up to, felt like I known her for years. She listen and understood my concerns. Encouraged me to acknowledge my feelings as well to put them and self care first! Before extending myself to others all the time or I will loose myself. Which I did. The Realizations of setting boundaries on family and friends is huge! Thank you so much!
